APPLICATION NOTE AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
These capacitors are not suitable for mains applications as across-the-line capacitors without additional protection, as described
hereunder. These mains applications are strictly regulated in safety standards and therefore electromagnetic interference
suppression capacitors conforming the standards must be used.
To select the capacitor for a certain application, the following conditions must be checked:
1. The peak voltage (U
2. The peak-to-peak voltage (U
3. The voltage peak slope (dU/d
4. The maximum component surface temperature rise must be lower than the limits (see figure max allowed component temp rise)
5. Since in circuits used at voltages over 280 V peak-to-peak the risk for an intrinsically active flammability after a capacitor
6. When using these capacitors as across-the-line capacitor in the input filter for mains applications or as series connected with
Voltage Conditions for 6 Above
EXAMPLE
C = 4n7 1600 V used for the voltage signal shown in next figure.
U
The ambient temperature is 80 °C. In case of failure, the oscillation is blocked.
Checking the conditions:
1.
2. The peak-to-peak voltage 1000 V is lower than 2 √2 x 550 Vac = 1600 U
3. The voltage pulse slope dU/dt = 1000 V/4 µs = 250 V/µs. This is lower than 4000 V/µs (see specific reference data for each version)
4. The dissipated power is 35 mW as calculated with Fourier terms and typical tgd.
5. Oscillation is blocked
6. Not applicable

ringing. If the pulse voltage is lower than the rated DC voltage, the rated voltage pulse slope may be multiplied by U
divided by the applied voltage.
For all other pulses following equation must be fulfilled:
